Coming up the weekend, the Bruins had all their sights set on Stanford, the No. 1 team in the country. After two losses to No. 2 California in a row, they were anxious to win.

UCLA beat Stanford on the Cardinal’s home turf 7-6 on Saturday afternoon. The next day, they managed to follow up with a 12-9 road win over Santa Clara.

The Bruins took control of Saturday’s game early on, taking a 4-2 lead into halftime. The teams traded off scoring in the second half after Stanford managed to rally and tie the game.

In the final moments of the game ““ the last 37 seconds, to be precise ““ it seemed that Stanford might tie it up on a power play, but the Bruins were able to steal away the ball and run out the clock.

“It’s pretty awesome,” junior Josh Samuels said. “Beating Stanford is just huge for us as a team.”

Junior attacker Griffin White scored three goals for the Bruins against the Cardinal including one with minutes left in the game that snagged the win. He had missed from the same spot minutes before, but he was able to come back and bury the ball in the back of the goal.

“Whenever I miss a shot, I don’t let it get to me,” White said. “I just came back and put it in the back of the net.”

This was the second time in three weeks that the Bruins beat the No.1 team ““ two weekends ago they beat then top-ranked USC.

“We played to our potential, the way that we know we can,” White said.

After scoring seven goals to withstand the determination of Stanford, the Bruins showcased an even more impressive offensive effort on Sunday, scoring 12 goals by nine different players.

Several young players, who do not often get the chance to play in regular conference games, were able to make a difference in the game against Santa Clara. This contribution was appreciated by coach Adam Wright.

Poll

On July 16, the California Legislature approved Senate Concurrent Resolution 35, urging the University of California to condemn all forms of anti-Semitism and racism on its campuses. The resolution uses parts of the U.S. State Department's definition, but does not explicitly include acts demonizing or delegitimizing Israel. Its passage has reignited a debate about whether the definition of anti-Semitism should include a reference to Israel. What do you think?
The state should have used the full U.S. State Department's definition because Israel is important to the Jewish identity.
The legislature should continue to reference a definition of anti-Semitism excluding Israel.
The California State Senate should let the University of California determine the definition's parameters.
I don't know how I feel about this issue.
